It was long due. The increasing number of visitors, the latest online reviews and buzz on Twitter deserved a better looking and easier to navigate blog.
Moreover Blogger, which is where I was previously hosting The Tux, doesn’t really offer half of the functionality you can have hosting your blog on Wordpress.
So here it is, the new, refreshed, self hosted Tux in Backpack.
Migrating from Blogger to Wordpress was indeed painful and took many hours, but I hope it was all worth it, and readers will enjoy not only good content but also graphics that are nicer to look at.
I wouldn’t have made it without many great online resources; so here they are, in the hope that they can be useful to you as well if you’re thinking of doing something similar:
Web2Feel.com: Tons of very professional (and free) WP Themes
Laffer.net: How to redirect Blogger Beta to Wordpress.com
DevilsWorkshop.org: Moving From Blogger To Wordpress – Maintaining Permalinks, Traffic & SEO
DevilsWorkshop.org: Blogger To Wordpress Traffic & Permalinks Redirection Plugin
Codex.Wordpress.org/Answers: the answer to a tricky little issue that keep me busy for quite a while, the Headers already sent error message
So thank you for the support showed so far and I hope you’ll enjoy even more the “pimped” Tux in Backpack. And if you find something that is not working properly (which I wouldn’t totally exclude) please give us a shout.
Happy Flashpacking!
